Chapter 894 Giant Spider
"It looks like a mine?"
Bifang didn't dare to approach the dark cave entrance rashly.
Faced with the unfamiliar cave, Harley behaved even more cautiously than Bifang. He lowered his head, with the muscles on his shoulder blades bulging, and stared straight ahead, observing silently.
This posture is like a car after it has been started. Although the accelerator has not been stepped on, the road conditions are already clearly observed, the engine is running, and it is ready to move at any time.
The audience also seemed very surprised.
[Is it true? There is a mine ?]
[Nonsense, have you forgotten what Fang Shen said before , that Kenya is rich in mineral resources? ]
[What kind of mine is this? Is it a gold mine? ]
[Gold mine, damn, isn't that going to make me rich? ]
[You will get rich soon, aren't you just dreaming? If there is really gold inside, why would it be wasted here? ]
[It seems so]
"The edges of the cave have many edges and scratches, and there are a lot of broken stones scattered around, which are obvious signs of artificial excavation."
"If it is a natural cave, its edges would be quite smooth due to the exposure to wind and sun. Of course, there is the possibility that a landslide or collapse could have accidentally formed a crack, but considering the topography here, it is obviously not a similar situation."
Whether a cave is man-made or natural is something that can basically be seen at a glance.
Since it was artificially excavated, it certainly was not done for no reason. There must be enough interests hidden in it to drive people to carry out large-scale engineering operations.
Bifang explained briefly, then dropped his backpack to lighten the weight, and trotted back, with the cheetah quickly following.
After running for forty or fifty meters, Bifang looked up and took in the surrounding environment.
A rocky slope.
No, it should be said that there are dozens of rocky slopes.
A dozen kilometers around are no longer flat and wide grasslands, but have turned into "hills" made up of rocks like the one in front of us.
Under the scorching sun, the stones appear bright yellow and have sharp edges.
From a distance, it looks like it is made up of blocks of pixels.
On this long pixelated earth slope, there are occasional patches of green grass, just like the few remaining black and gray hairs on a bald uncle's head.
“And look at the rocks around us.”
Bifang looked down and found a loose yellow stone. He dug it out and threw it down the slope.
The stone rolled and fell, hitting other stones along the way and breaking into several pieces. It was not very hard.
Bifang patted the dust off his hands and said: "It's kimberlite, it should be a kimberlite mine, there may be diamonds dug in it."
What is Kimberlite?
[I guess it has something to do with diamonds]
[You are really smart]
[It’s time to show off your skills again]
Bifang laughed: "There are two most typical primary diamond deposits, one is potassium-magnesium lamprophyre type, and the other is kimberlite type, which is also the most common type in Africa."
"This rock is very unstable and decomposes rapidly when exposed to air, turning into a yellow, brittle substance known as yellow earth, which breaks into small pieces very easily, as we have just seen."
"The opposite of the yellow land is the blue land. Below the differentiation zone, the kimberlite is a dark blue-gray rock that is relatively hard. It is called the blue land, or fresh kimberlite."
After listening to the analysis and confirming that what was in front of Bifang was a mine, and that it might be a diamond mine, everyone became excited.
The number of viewers, which had been declining in recent days, has resumed its upward trend.
[I know that Lao Fang knows everything]
[Ask the gods when you are undecided]
[6666, we have to go in and take a look]
[The hole must be drilled, right?]
[Quick, quick, go in and take a look, what if you can find a bargain? ]
"Don't worry, make a torch first."
Bifang did not rush back to the mine, but found a wooden stick of suitable size and thickness nearby, as well as some twigs and wood wool. Then he returned to the place where he threw his backpack, took out , and then took out animal fat and rope.
The rope was soaked in animal fat, and after it had absorbed enough fat, it was wrapped around one end of the wood.
"Animal oil is not durable. We need to build a small bonfire first and then use the flame to ignite it."
Several thin wooden sticks are built into a pyramid shape, with a layer of tinder made of wood fiber on the top, and finally rubbed with flint.
The whole process went smoothly.
For Bifang, making fire in the wilderness is a skill as simple as eating and drinking.
Soon a blazing bonfire appeared in front of everyone.
Bifang put his backpack on again, holding a torch, and carefully entered the cave amid the expectation of the audience.
Compared to the brightness outside at noon, the cave was dark. The light almost completely dissipated at about four or five meters, and the cave was plunged into darkness. The only source of light was the torch in Bifang's hand.
In a confined and narrow space, sounds are constantly reflected and repeated, overlapping each other, being amplified many times and becoming many times clearer. The sounds of footsteps and breathing become very conspicuous.
The orange-yellow firelight shining on the yellow rocks is a bit dazzling, making people slightly lose their sense of distance.
Not only that, Bifang, who was walking on the right side, switched the torch to his left hand. Just as he was about to check the condition of the rock wall on the left, he discovered a huge spider lying quietly on the rock wall.
What’s even more amazing is that this spider is not only huge in size, but can even weave a web. At a glance, the diameter of the web is almost more than half a person’s height!
And there was more than one spider. Several large webs covered Bifang's body, almost wrapping it up completely. The closest one on top of its head was less than an arm's length away.
This scared the audience.
Even Bifang himself was startled and sweat broke out on his back.
With his strength and level, he is not afraid of tough attacks most of the time unless he encounters a tiger or a lion. He is just afraid of encountering poisonous snakes and spiders, which can easily lead to his downfall if he is not careful.
But, what a big net.
A large net with a diameter of more than one meter is quite rare in nature.
There were a lot of locusts stuck on it, and I didn't know if they were the same group we encountered a few days ago.
Bifang did not approach rashly. The spider webs were very tough, but it was afraid of fire. If its torch got a little closer, these spiders might be in great danger.
Looking at the palm-sized spider not far away, Bifang was thinking in his mind.
A spider as big as a palm, with a web one meter in diameter...
"It's a Komachi spider. It's not dangerous."
Bifang recognized it.
"This giant spider is huge, but it is not poisonous to humans, but its bite is very fierce."
"The webs they weave are usually more than a metre in diameter and are very strong, able to catch smaller birds, bats or lizards."
